OP-Ed
E-Dating in the Era of Social Distancing
by Baila Sebrow
Reprinted from
The Five Towns Jewish Times
Question:
I used to say no to girls who were geographically undesirable. If a girl lived anywhere more than a 15-minute drive away, I would say no if I was redt to such a girl. She could be as beautiful as a princess and her father could be a billionaire, but I had my priorities.
My rav didn't exactly encourage it either. He said that there are enough girls here. He's right. Plus, I have friends who dated long distance and it was a pain in the neck. Most of the guys either lost interest or they got engaged fast to stop the headache. How much can you Skype and talk on the phone anyway? Besides, I always had great girls who live nearby redt to me.
So, here's the funny thing. Now with social distancing, everyone is telling me to Skype, because who knows how long it will be before I can go on a real date? The problem is that I really hate that stuff. I mean, I could have just as easily dated those long-distance girls by Skype. How can anyone even date by Skype or whatever else? Should I just wait it out and see what happens? What's everybody in the shidduch world doing now?
